Northwest Mathematics Interaction

Joyce has retired from teaching mathematics at Lake Washington High School, which is located in Kirkland, WA. An avid Escher fan, she attended the 1998 M. C. Escher Congress in Rome, Italy and has been corresponding with participants since including M. C. Escher's son, George. An interest in what Escher would have created if he were still alive has resulted in a fascination for 3-D space packing puzzles, from creating present models to designing and discovering new ones. Joyce has taught NWMI Minicourses, NWMI Workshops and presented at Northwest Mathematics Conferences. She was a participant in the 2001-3 Park City Mathematics Institutes and on the staff at PCMI 2004-7. Joyce has taught a minicourses on 3D puzzles and middle school manipulatives. Joyce is president of Puget Sound Council of Teachers of Math. She is a member of the organizing committee for the 2007 and 2013 Northwest Mathematics Conferences.

Carol teaches mathematics at Skyview High School in Vancouver School District # 37. Her wide knowledge of curriculum materials was a factor when she was selected to be a member of the cadre that developed and implemented the Science, Mathematics, and Technology Magnet program at Skyview. She was instrumental in selecting the technology and textbooks for the math courses. Carol attended NWMI as a participant in 1995 and returned to teach in 1998 to the present. She was a participant in the 1999-2000 Park City Math Institutes and the coordinator at the 2001 - 2013 PCMI. She serves on the PCMI Steering Committee. Carol has served on two state committees, Portfolio Assessment and Project 99 (WASL training). She brings her expertise and experience from her committee work to every teaching situation.
